DanThis weekend I went camping with my girlfriend on her first camping trip. The thing that I was most impressed by was how nothing got to her.

We were surrounded by kids running around the campground (it is family car camping after all), at one point they were actually running in and out of our tent. Between that and the dirt and the ocassional bug and she took it all in stride. I was definitely impressed

Not letting things get to you is one of the most attractive traits a man or a woman can develop. One key is to roll with it and catch yourself when you find you are getting defensive.

Avoid Defensiveness


 

Her:  “So you’re just buying girls drinks, trying to get them drunk, and take them home.”

You: “Absolutely not, I think that is a really sleazy thing about guys these days.”

You have already crashed and burned here. Defensiveness is the worst thing you can do when relating to just about anyone. So quit it! Learn to agree with people much more.

Even when I disagree with someone about something I always agree and take their point of view first. Then I present my viewpoint in a way that isn’t in opposition to their point of view. This is a very important tactic when dealing with people. Most of the time people just want to be heard. As long as you can make them understand you see their point of view then they are much more willing to accept yours.

In our case being defensive creates a sense of opposition, and that creates a sense of power imbalance. It is like the predator response: as soon as someone runs, you chase almost instinctively.  When you are defensive it evokes a sense of  her wanting to prove you’re exactly what you are so defensive about.

Her: “You’re a jerk.”
Guy: “I really am not! You’ll see that if you get to know me.”

Do you believe it? Of course not, disqualification is a great way to deal with this and actually agreeing with it is a form of disqualification.

Her: “You are a  jerk.”
You: “You’re absolutely right, [teasingly] damn you are a good judge of character.”

Her: “You are just trying to get me to sleep with you.”
You: “Oh boy, you found me out. I was planning on taking you home and giving you an amazing night of incredible pleasure; I guess now that will have to wait till you get to know me better.”

When you agree it is almost always funny, and rarely do they believe a word you say. In fact if you are defensive people will think you are what you are being defensive about. However, if you agree with whatever they are saying about you, then they don’t actually believe you are that.

Defensiveness shows pure insecurity. Being able to admit you are something bad, and be proud of it, that shows incredible confidence. The funny thing is no one actually believes you when you admit it.

November Coaching Program


Commit to making a change that will last!

 
A one weekend seminar/workshop/bootcamp will only bring you so far. I’m not knocking them, in fact if they are a great way to overcome your approach anxiety. They will motivate you and get you out of your comfort zone. Unfortunately no matter how good the workshop your progress is likely to end there. A weekly coaching program is the FASTEST way make permanent reproducible results.

 

Benefits of a weekly coaching program:

  • Stay motivated to improve with weekly goals and missions
  • Speed up your learning curve; overcome your sticking points before you become STUCK
  • Get Pre-Date advice for more successful dates instead of just learning what you did wrong
  • Get advice for the kind women you want to meet and that specifically fits your life
  • Your needs are specific and only one on one coaching will give you the attention you need to succeed
  • Make change that is permanent!

I only accept 6 clients per month!

- Only 2 spots left

I am invested in your success as much as you are. I screen all of my clients, if you want your confidence and success with women spoon fed to you go hire someone else; I only accept motivated individuals who are willing to work on their dating skills.

Throughout the week I expect constant updates through email, and even quick phone calls if you need them. This coaching program is more than just a weekly phone call, it is about working on your missions, exercises, and meeting women on a daily basis.

Don’t accept advice from someone who doesn’t know you or your life. Our very first week I will be asking you the tough questions getting to know you inside and out. I will make you define what is unique and interesting about you and we will work together on our very first call to help you learn to express your confident interesting personality.

You are stuck because NO advice or method fits every situation; advice needs to be tailored to your needs

You probably have already read TOO MUCH dating advice!

It is time to get results not just put more seductive false advertising in your head. Most guys understand my method after one listen of my Audio Workshop. However to be good at the techniques and tips it takes practice. If you don’t actually try it you will never learn what you are doing wrong. If you don’t have someone to help you through your mistakes, you will continue making the same mistakes over and over.

Even I hire a coach for myself! We are oblivious to our own mistakes. 

You deserve the choice of high quality women in your life

 

“Dan’s an excellent instructor. He really knows how to explain the concepts. He listens and answers questions directly and usefully. He also cares. He was always right there when I needed feedback or encouragement”

- Steve from Monterey CA

“My experience talking with Dan on the phone for an hour was really good. As a result I’ve injected new life into my conversations, and people are saying to me, “we have to get together more often!” Kid you not. My review: Five stars. It was exactly what I was looking for: clarification on basic good conversation!!! Thank you”

- Jay from Los Angeles

“Dan introduced me to a whole new world of creating powerful connections with the people I meet on a daily basis. Let’s face it, I went to Dan to learn how to connect with the women that I wanted to meet. But a side benefit of the coaching was that I found it helped build relationships in many areas of my life. I use the techniques in business and with friends, too. They are very powerful and I’m incredibly glad I have worked with Dan. He cares that his students succeed. As a side note on the romance front, the issue I’m dealing with right now is having too many girls in my life …”

- Richard from San Francisco
